I had a visit from a lovely local lady called Luci(that’s a lot of L’s) who came and took some snaps of our house for the website Houzz. I thought you might be keen to have a look around because really, who isn’t a sticky beak. This is primarily an American website so you might notice some heavy editing for their audience.
Anyway, come on in and have a look around here. Thanks again Luci for the opportunity x
Your home is beautiful Beth x
Thanks Jane π
How long did you clean and scrub for before she got there????? And did you have a room with a closed door….. that didnt get opened? Great pics
I didn’t even mop the floors…I figured they looked OK!
such a lovely home! Houzz is another distraction, as bad as Pinterest π
I know…like we need another distraction!
You have an amazing home Beth! It is a stunning family home x
Thanks Lou π
Looks amazing Beth! Love the use of colour. x
Thanks Jools x
Love your space and what you’ve done with it. Makes me want to just come and sit in your kitchen xo
It’s a good place to sit!
Love your home, so colourful, x
Thank you Raewyn π
Wow! Your house is amazing. I’ve always thought your house would be a great feature in Australian House and Garden or Home Beautiful. Love your eclectic look and use of colour. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Chelsea π
Your home is gorgeous. And you keep it so very well, don’t know how with looking after your family, tv appearances and a busy blog. Good on you!
Thanks Lisa π
Thank you for welcoming me in to your beautiful home Beth. Loved every minute of it. A totally inspirational and truly happy home. Hope you all enjoy the read.
Luci
You are so welcome Luci!
My husband and I are also ‘Sydney escapees’. . . now in the village at 1065m above sea level in the Blue Mt. Houzz is great!! We have recently renovated 1970’s old house using a lots of hints and ideas from Houzz.
It’s a great site.
So much soul in your home!
Thank you Steph…such a lovely compliment.
Beth your home is so stylishly fitted out. I’m building at the moment so I spend HOURS poring over the homes on Houzz
It’s a great resource.
Lovely lovely home. Totally my dream home, interiors, solutions for kids and adults. EVERYTHING. You are very inspiring π
Thank you so much!
Thank you for opening your house – it is gorgeous!
Thanks Sarah.
what an amazing house! absolutely loved every bit of it! thank you for taking us through on this beautiful tour…
Thanks Monica!
So cool! Congrats! You do have such a beautiful home!
Thanks Caitlin x
Gorgeous Beth. Love the white pallet and pops of colour, the dark wood, and bright artworks. And love how you used the fireplace in the master bedroom. We have one in ours and it seems like such a wasted space. You’ve given me an idea now! π
The fireplace has always stumped me…one day I might get the fire going in there…maybe?!
Congratulations Beth!! I love hanging out on the Houzz page – you must be so excited!! Your home looks fantastic!
It’s a great website isn’t it?
you garden looks so green! love the hedging.
We are very lucky with the rain we get down here….it’s all still so green despite the fact it’s been a dry summer.
I love your house Beth it is truly a beautiful family home with your colourful stamp on it ,I could easily move in and feel at home,stunning and thank you for sharing xx
Thanks Lisa!
Jesus Beth! I always knew your house was beautiful but now I can see it’s fucking amazing!!!
Plus I had no idea it was such a new build- I always thought it was an old house re-done!
Seriously, just perfection . You might just be my new interiors inspiration/crush xx
Hardly! I just make things up as I go…x
Really enjoyed the tour Beth, like you say….we’re always up for a sticky beak π So how do you feel now that the photo shoot is over and the tour has been shared? Good on you for putting yourself out there and being brave. π
It’s always a nerve racking experience…happy with all the kind feedback. So far…
I love that the house is called Pemberley. Do you know why or what it means? I grew up in a Queenslander house in Paddington in Brisbane and it had a name as well. I love that bit the very most but you do have a beautiful, welcoming, warm home Beth π xxx
Pemberley was the name of Mr Darcy’s home in Pride & Prejudice!
wow wow wow!!!! you have created a stylish stunning warm inviting home. I would never leave. Great work.
Thanks Jacqui
Oh yes I do so love a sticky beak. So good to see some different angles of the rooms. Love the way the black ikea expedit divides the room. Tres clever. And a dedicated ‘sleep over room’. Do your girls know they are the luckiest girls in the southern highlands?? Love it so much. Thanks for the tour.
That room will one day become Harpers again I’m sure…as soon as she gets kicked out by her big sister!
Wow Beth….your house just looks stunning and I would love to move right in! You certainly have a great eye for interior decorating lady and wonderful style. We have seen little snippets of your beautiful home over the years through your blog but this professional shoot shows even more how stunning it is. I really love the fact that although it could grace the pages of any interior design magazine, it still has so many unique, warm features like all the girls art works, that make it a genuine and loved family home…..and so, so spotless too! Well done you x
P.S. Love that you have the same clock as me on the wall in your kitchen…..love my French style blue and white clock! Annie M
Thanks Annie!
Wow, lady. Wow. I do love a sticky beak. I also love that they feel they have to interpret the message on your lightbox! And… Pemberley! I do love a house with a name!
I know…lucky I didn’t have anything rude on the lightbox!
sah nice, bro! Love those floors haha
Ha!
Oh goodness what classy digs you have there Beth… I might have to book a stay soon!
Defo…waiting and ready x
What great pics. Love your style. And not just stylish but warm and lived in too.
Thanks Sue.
So beautiful. Your house is colourful and happy. Im feeling the love. Very inspiring i have to say.
Thanks Amanda…it is packed with love that’s for sure.
what a fun house! and how shiny does it all look. Maintenance Monday must be very serious at your house! i hope all the non-shiny bits are stuffed in your cupboards like mine!
The shoot was done on a Maintenance Monday…thank goodness!
So glad to finally get a sneaky peek at the other rooms in your fabulous abode! I love your style and use of colour. Thank you so much for sharing your precious home with us xx

Such a homely home! Do you mind asking where you bought your girls bunk bed from? Looks similar to the ikea bunk?
Course…they were from Harvey Norman a few years ago.
*mind ME asking that should say π
Wow! Your home is gorgeous! Thank you for the tour. We are currently looking at building a house and trawling through plans and designs, think I have found what I want in yours! Thanks Beth π
No worries – thanks Liz and good luck with your build!
Beautiful house. My grandparents lived in Robertson on 40 acres for over 30 years and I spent my childhood there. I now live in Gerringong but I miss spending my weekends countryside. There is something magical about the Southern Highlands. Your house is amazing!
